>&#13;   If you think that you have found a bug in a PEAR package, please
   take care that you are using the latest version of the package  and
   that your system does meet the packages' requirements.
  </P
><P
>&#13;    If the bug still persists with the latest version of the package, 
    don't hesitate to fill out a bug report. The easiest way is to click
    to link <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Package Bugs"</SPAN
> on the package information page
    for the package on the <A
HREF="http://pear.php.net/"
TARGET="_top"
>PEAR
    Homepage</A
>, which you think contains a bug. This will take you
    to a list of existing bugs of the package. Please double check if
    the bug hasn't already been reported! If you are unable to find it
    in the list, you can click on <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Report a new bug"</SPAN
> to
    fill out the bug form.
